devastating— i work in HIV vaccine research,and we’re just waiting for the hammer to drop 😞

yep, we're just marching forward pretending everything will be fine with the sword hanging precariously above our necks.

I thank you and your colleagues for your efforts in research. Between brain worms and "windmill cancer", the tRump clown circus is determined for a return to the Dark Ages. 🙁

thank you— my boss has been in this field for 40+ years— for them to see it potentially end this way is just soul-crushing

The severity of tRump's backlash against science has FAR exceeded my initial fears. The USA & the world will suffer for his myopic insanity as this century unfolds. Take comfort knowing you did your best & and while you could, you made a positive difference. Circumstances were beyond your control.

you’re very kind, thank you

That is exactly the intent. They WANT people with HIV to die. They WANT people who don't have resources to die. The entire point of this administration is that some people are people and other people are trash and should disappear.

And Bird Flu. RFK JR is a predator. Just like Caroline Kennedy warned Congress.

“These drastic cuts are rapidly destroying the infrastructure of scientific research in this country and we are going to lose a generation of scientists.”

I feel we will lack and fall behind the progress in other countries. This will also hurt the biotech industry here. Scientists may be more prone to practice elsewhere. Unless we figure out a new way to fund research

Nice writeup now from Nature:

It’s not a leap of logic to hypothesize this administration is defunding HIV research, sadly.
